Hybrid cloud typically is a coupling of on-premise and off-premise cloud environment. However, hybrid data architecture not only entails hybrid cloud, data-warehouse (DWH) design too has the potential of being hybrid between on-premise and off-premise environment to get the optimal benefits. With the growing business complexities and volumes of data clubbed with data securities & compliance issues prompting many to consider hybrid data architecture which is beyond just on-premise DWH. This involve migration of some of the on-premise workload to WAN environment in public cloud. The objective is to have the best of both in terms of greater control & high level security combined with computing power (infinite scale & elasticity), maintainability and performance. However, security is the single most consequential public-cloud adoption barrier for enterprises aspiring for public cloud infrastructure.

The biggest challenge is to explain and give examples that bring data out of the technology perspective and into a business perspective. When looking to build out a new data-platform, one of the most important factor is to establish the warehouse architecture towards the foundation of the data platform.
